What's new in V2?

This plugin has been upgraded to V2 of the New Relic Platform Java SDK. For version 2 of the Java SDK, we have made several changes to help make the installation experience more uniform for plugins. The changes include:

'newrelic.properties' file is now 'newrelic.json'

Plugin configuration is now done through the 'plugin.json' file

Logging has been made more robust and easier to use.

Jar distributables now have a well-defined name (i.e. plugin.jar)

Configuration files are now located in a well-defined location (i.e. './config' off the root)

More information on these changes (including how to configure logging, license keys, and the plugin itself) can be found here: https://github.com/newrelic-platform/newrelic_memcached_java_plugin. If you have any feedback, please don't hesitate to reach out to us through our forums here: https://discuss.newrelic.com/category/platform-plugins/platform-sdk-beta.
